Oh, right -- I *like* drawing.

I've been blaming my lack of art productivity on my recent house purchase. A related factor is the garden — I've spent a lot of time working myself to exhaustion clearing ivy and blackberries out of the yard. I'm finally to the point where I can start putting plants IN, though, and I'm afraid of putting them in the wrong spot...so today I pulled out my sketchbook to draw what's there now and decide what should be there next. Sitting in the sun with a pencil and cup of coffee, birds singing on the feeder, and my attention focused on that one visual task, I remembered something that is ridiculously easy to forget.

Fiddlers Don't Fret mugs and tote bags are now available through CafePress (see that link over there on the left? Click that one!). I'll probably add a few more items after I have a chance to test them out myself, first.
